a bad live

[filetofish]

Who: Crow + various
Where: the hotel kitchen
When: day 54, early afternoon

[Sooo an hour or two after the game, a live is called. At first it's just showing the kitchen, and Crow contentedly leaned against a wall eating his ration like nothing is going on.

However, if you're actually coming in for lunch you might... have some trouble. For one, all the dishes and cooking utensils seem to be missing. For another, all the fridges are taped closed all around the edges.

You can find the missing stuff if you look up... It's all taped to the ceiling.]

...You're sad.

[he's?? Helping?]

[dragonheartedgirl]

I'm okay!

[ just. Automatic and without thought. She just doesn't want him to worry. ]

[bluemoonlight]

[too late he’s already worried]

Hiryuu...

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ tips her head forward to rest against his shoulder. ]

I'm okay. Really.

[ It would be more convincing if it didn't come out so warbly. and she wasn't suddenly leaking again. ]

[bluemoonlight]

[It's true that it's not convincing. But that's all right, he doesn't need to be convinced of anything tbh]

It's...okay to be sad.

[dragonheartedgirl]

I don't want to be sad.

[ She needs to be brave. To keep it together. Abi... probably doesn't even know everything yet.

THE URGE TO CRY AGAIN IS STRONG THOUGH. ]

... I--Shuten's gone, Abi.

[ It's not the first time. But it is the first time they've taken him away so quickly after something horrible's happened. And she's--afraid. She's afraid if he's left again, so soon after something so horrible--what if they don't give him back this time? ]

[bluemoonlight]

...Gone?

[but why]

Like...Wire?

[dragonheartedgirl]

Like Wire. And Spidey.

[ So much for not crying again!!! ]

[bluemoonlight]

[Ummmm]

I think...that's good reason to be sad.

[for example, he is also sad now]

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ Yeah she's. ]

I'm sorry.

[ He would have found out eventually, but it still feels... bad... telling him. ]

[bluemoonlight]

[honestly he’s still more worried about her]

It’s...not your fault.

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ I mean, legit. ] But it is. If I wasn't playing around--If I hadn't lost my focus-- [ she hasn't even thought of a plan for their escape. hasn't even found an exit--beyond cozying up to the pyschopaths of Heaven. And now one of their family has been stolen from them. Again.]
